Denny Hamlin was able to dodge a few bullets at the end of the race to take his first career road course victory in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Leading only 10 laps en route to victory Hamlin dodged complete chaos between Keselowski making contact with Truex Jr. along with Allmendinger and Larson. Joey Logano, with damage was able to come home 2nd, Brad Keselowski finished 3rd, 4th was AJ Allmendinger, and 5th was Tony Stewart. Chris Buescher who is just 3 points out of the Top-30. All of these drivers approach an off weekend, the final last weekend of the season which gives drivers a chance to see what they will need to do to be in good hands in the final 4 races of the regular season.
